Donald Trump now supports marijuana legalization

[toobfreak]

The problem is that the weed today is not even in the same universe with the weed we grew up with.

I grew up with Thai Stick, Red Colombian, Gainesville Gold and Hawaiian sinsemilla, not to mention black Moroccan hash and hash oil.
Sure, stuff is super-potent today, all that means is that you SMOKE LESS to achieve the same desired effect.
Idiots who get dangerously smashed silly on the stuff into a stupor of incoherency are just idiots abusing the stuff.

Psychotic breaks, particularly in children.

Who is giving refer to children?

But legalizing makes it that much easier to get in the hands of minors.

Same ones that give them alcohol.

Bottom line, just like pornography or guns or car keys, giving this stuff to kids is a crime. But if we banned everything except those few things which could not be used in the commission of a crime, it would be a pretty sparse world.

It all comes down to individual responsibility.

Donald Trump comes out in support of recreational-use marijuana in Florida​

Donald Trump comes out in support of recreational-use marijuana in Florida

State will decide on a constitutional amendment in November over whether to allow for adult use of pot

I don’t agree with this. I suppose Mr. Trump thinks it’s gonna get him a bunch of votes. Maybe it will. But I want to see a traditional masculine candidate in this country that stands up for traditional values. That includes banning pornography, being against drug use. Standing up for the police , Our founding fathers… and restoring the statues of men like Andrew Jackson, Christopher Columbus that have been destroyed by criminals in this country.

I’m upset with this decision by Mr. Trump, but I will still vote for him bc Harris is an even more extreme leftist. Either way It’s not a good sign for the future of the country.

Just seems like America is heading down a very feminized direction. Bunch of stay at home non employed men Sipping on their lattes. Boys getting sex change operations. And I still believe most Americans don’t want this stuff. It’s being put on us by the media Hollywood and the corporations as a distraction from our bad economy.

We should have candidates who want to strengthen our middle class. What is all this nonsense about race, foreign wars, gender, and drug use?

I'm conservative And think trumps position is common sense. I mean wtf should he do. I say leave fed. Law alone, look the other way when it makes sense, which are daily events, and let the states decide. We have far more pressing issues. Besides, I need a single toke to relax, and shed some of the bs that tries penetrating our heads. Yeah pot can lead to lazy in some situations, but if there was no such thing as mentally lazy, then democrats wouldn't exist, pot or no pot. Beats alcohol

We'll disagree. Significantly more studies need to be done on the medical effects of weed, particularly on children.

Weed has been in use for 10,000 to 40,000 years, what is there to study? AS to children, it just needs kept out of their hands and those who do need to be prosecuted.

Also the new thing now is dabbing. Pot made into a oil substance…30-60$ a gram..5-10x stronger than plant weed…kids go through em fast and bc its odorless they smoke it everywhere

Are Dab Pens Dangerous?

A dab pen is a small pen-like piece of technology that is otherwise known as a vape or a vape pen. Read more here.

Really? It is up to just one person? You mean by executive order? I thought that was a congressional thing to pass?

And if Trump had four years, then so did Harris and Biden and Obumma and Clinton and Reagan and Al Gore.

Congress does not like to take stands on controversial issues, as it affects their electability. Moral cowardice is a hallmark of elected leadership on many important issues.

 

[EMH]

It really is time to just ignore the 12% of the American population that is still parroting Reefer Madness.

They have no truth and no desire to get any, and never have....


88% support legalization.

If they want Trump to embrace the 12%, they want Kamala to win, PERIOD.

Is that why democrats have been advocating for pot for years? And forgiven school loans? And now free home loans? And a whole bunch of other stuff.

The Democrat Party IS the party of whoring. Funny you never complain about that.

Taxpayer dollars should be spend on the taxpayers. You have no trouble bailing out privately billionaires or giving them freebies, but give the working or middle class loan forgiveness or help in buying home, and you go batshit crazy.

You complain that taxes are theft, but then you complain when the taxpayers get some of their own money back.

Your Senate wouldn't even pass a bill to make lynching illegal.

 

[lennypartiv]

Not a good decision. If the pot heads are for it, we should be against it.

Mine? I have a Senate? Out of our two US Senators, I like one and detest the other. I have no current relationship with either of them and have not even corresponded with a US Senator from TN or anywhere else since 2020 or before. Interesting you thinking me a mover and shaker, but alas no. I do not have a Senate.

"Your" as in the American Senate. Our Senate is in Ottawa. Our Senate is appointed by the Party in Power, for life. I think the pages come into the Senate Chamber with a cattle prod to wake them up to vote. Other than rubber stamp House Bills, I have no idea what they do.

Oh! I did not know you were in Canada.
You Senate is appointed by the party in power at the time of appointment and then serve for life? That strikes me as wild. They just sit there vegetating on the public dole forever or until too sick or dead to continue? You guys probably have an interesting constitution. The only people that after appointment get to automatically stay forever here are judges and it is very hard to get rid of them, even if accepting millions from wealth "friends", as they are not accountable to anybody and never will be. People that get to stay forever, are a flaw in any country's system.

Then why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars fighting a war with Russia in a war that will not be won that does not even directly affect us, an ally, or even a country with whom we have a treaty?

You have no trouble bailing out privately billionaires or giving them freebies,

I don't? How do you think that?

but give the working or middle class loan forgiveness or help in buying home, and you go batshit crazy.

The loan is a contract people made with a bank. They agreed to repay it. Nobody ever gave me money, repaid any loan of mine or helped me buy a house. It is redistribution of taxpayer funds without anyone voting to do it for the sole express purpose every time of buying votes to influence an election for the express benefit of the democrat party--- you damn right I go batshit crazy.

You complain that taxes are theft,

Not always. Where did I ever say that?

but then you complain when the taxpayers get some of their own money back.

Far better to just let us keep it in the first place then. The problem is that it is being done as a /SELECTIVE/ process for a desired outcome of a political party and not for any altruistic intentions as you would naively pretend.

For those who keep going on about how bad alcohol is or something like that. Sure it is unhealthy if abused , but it’s part of the masculine tradition in America.

Alcohol is associated with American culture and history. The image of the well-dressed man with a cigar and a glass of whiskey. With a beautiful woman. Now let’s contrast that with a pot smoking guy living in his parents basement playing video games all day.

You sure are worried about some masculine tradition. Does it really matter what choices other men do? Whether they live in the basement or not is of no consequence nor is it anyone's business but theirs.

 

[surada]

This^

What some but not all marijuana smokers completely ignore or don’t care about is that a large portion of pot smokers do nothing with their lives. They smoke dope all day, play video games , they don’t work. A lot of them are living with their parents.


Also alcohol is a part of the masculine tradition. It’s a part of American history. Marijuana is not part of either of those. And cigerattes while unhealthy is not a psychoactive drug like marijuana is.

Masculine tradition. Lol

Traveling preachers in the 1700s wrote about St James Parrish Santee that they were drunkards, slatterns, wife beaters and their children were always sick with diarrhea.
